POPE'S PRAYER INTENTIONS - MARCH 2019

SIGNING OF THE BYLAW AND OFFICIAL PROMULGATION

On Friday, March 1st, 2019, the General Chaplain (Fr. FX Nguyen Thanh Binh, SVD), Deputy General Chaplain (Fr. Ngo Dinh Thong, CSsR) and members of the National Executive Committee (Ban Chấp Hành Trung Ương) and National Leadership Council (Hội Đồng Lãnh Đạo) convened at the VEYM store in Garden Grove to hold a press release to officially sign into law the amended Bylaw. Fr. FX Nguyen Thanh Binh, SVD spoke of the history and demand leading to the amended Bylaw.The last time the Bylaw was updated was 10 years ago. Revisions were recommended to address the challenges and gaps in the VEYM/TNTT. After months of meetings, voting, editing, and more editing, the Bylaw was signed into law and promulgated. Please pray for the VEYM. God bless!

Additionally, the new VEYM website and eStore were updated and available for immediate use. The new website and eStore allow for easy web browsing and on mobile devices. They are more effective and require less maintenance cost. Editing the content is ongoing and continue to update when appropriate.

LIVING THE EUCHARISTIC DAY PRAYER CARD

Following the signing, the President of the National Executive Committee (Tr. Hoang Cong Thai Duong) unveiled two key initiatives the Movement will push forward to compliment our mission of educating and helping our youth become good Christians and citizens. The first is the National Living the Eucharistic Day Campaign and the second, the VEYM Heroes. More official announcement forthcoming. Please see the Living the Eucharistic Day pocket prayer card attached.

Please join us in praying for our Regional Presidents, League of Chapters Presidents and members of the National Executive Committee as they convene this weekend before Lent for their first VEYM Annual Servant Leader Retreat. Often, they do much work with very little time for personal spiritual nourishment, let us pray for them this weekend.

With the theme, "Hành Trình Hy Vong: Heart of Faith", may our leaders be renewed in hope, love and faith to serve God through their works with VEYM/TNTT and the Church. Safe travel, best wishes and God bless! Photo album forthcoming on Facebook: Veym-Usa Tntt
